This certainly looks spectacular!

The two parts of the E3 2010 demo for portal 2, featuring the new gameplay mechanics: Laser beams, tractor beams, jump plates and antigravity particles. The new storyline, featuring a new AI helper and a revived GladOS is also teased.

Simple concept, but I like it – You play pong, but you’re not the bats, you’re the ball!

A slightly longer and sweeter version of the original trailer already posted. Wait for the bit at the end where Deadpool gets a nasty surprise courtesy of Morrigan

Portal 2 Teaser Trailer.

Looks like we’re having another round of Aperture science training!

Still no word on a possible Half Life connection, but we can hope.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Gameplay Video Mega Man Legends Stage.

A preview of the upcoming Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 showing off the gameplay. No big surprises here. Deadpool’s voice clips are funny (He does a Shoryuken too, just like in the comics, and breaks the 4th wall shouting “You pressed the wrong button!” if he dies) although they probably will get old quickly with all the repetition.

Metal Gear Solid Rising E3 Debut.

Kojima is trolling us as usual, so there’s no Solid Snake in the new Metal Gear game, and plenty of Raiden for our sins.

On the other hand at least it’s cyborg Raiden this time rather than naked femme looking Raiden with girlfriend troubles, by the looks of it, so we’ll forgive him this time, like we always does. He does love us, really, he doesn’t mean to hurt us. *sniff*

Anyway, gameplay seems to be focused on the concept of “cutting” with your awesome cyborg super katana, apparently everything in the enviroment or nearly everything is going to be destructible in highly specific ways, which looks like it has the potential for some amusing gameplay moments.

It seems the “controversial” taboo this game was set to break is that of dismemberment, since Raiden is seen turning several enemies into sushi. While the mechanics are new and innovative, the idea of instagibbing an enemy has been around since Quake so I doubt it’s really going to be such a big deal.

Could be wrong though!

Auditorium

is a gorgeous looking flash game, a sort of particle simulation puzzle set to music, also available for download on the iphone. A neat way to while away a few minutes, though the music gets tiresome after a while.

Portal is FREE!.

YES, it’s true. Free as the air, or is it beer, I can never remember.

For mac or PC, free to download until may 24th!

In the unlikely chance that you don’t actually own it already, go click that link asap!

Looking good. It seems they chose to make a sequel of sorts to the actual movie rather than adapting the movie itself. Interesting choice.
